Well... I kinda stumbled in BBBL so I think the 8th place wont be far off my expectations... Didnt play alot of BB last seasons so didnt really change my roster alot. Ill see what I can do. Got not much time to adjust so Ill see what I can adjust the next weeks to try and stay in BBBL. Not very realistic but who knows. Im aiming for a good draft thats for sure :-)

Probably going for a good core of players (based on partly my current roster) and add young talents along with them. Will be balancing between being competitive (probably for second division, not realistic in first I think but Ill try) and giving great training. Got tons of experience now so Ill try to redo my training seasons from like 5 seasons ago again in a good way now.

After all who cares, as long as we are having fun.


Edit: Btw, its really nice to see alot of teams Ive seen in various lower division over the past four years. Nice to be in the top division for once, coming from 4th. Nice to see the buidling pays off one day even though Im not that active anymore due to work etc...

Tho it wouldn't surprize me if Mizu decided to push the make-over button on his team some time soon. All his starters are between 28 and 31, and he hasn't got a BBBL starter worthy player that is younger than 27y olds (and doesn't look like he's training one either). So sooner or later, Mizu will have to rejuvenate his team, which means he'll have to rebuild it. Should be interesting to see how Mizu will retool.

i must say i have many tempting options ahead. on one end, i still have a competitive squad that could last for another full bbbl and cup season ; on the other end, i have cash and i could buy one or two prospects to assure the team's transition ; but i could also try to build a team that could bring me far in the B3. who knows, maybe i'll never a chance go back to B3 again, so i might as well have to try now... i'm waiting for the calendar to be released, then i'll have to make some choices.

I voted 'Arlon' ...once again.
They are realy strong enough too last one more season.
SSS will be a strong competitor.

Amenra is the favorite on our side....
We will see what will happen. I think we have the best 'Obira' team ever....but will it be enough ?
Yes, ....Dirnberger's training wil continue !!!! (for the glory of Belgium)
(this will be the reason our goal is only to reach PO)

Joe:....nice work with the presentation. (I' like to read it)

Welcome to all the newcomers and especally FTA ! (This is a good team with a good manager)
"Fran Drebin' ...once again 'welcome' in our Eragon Dome.

Greetings

A nice first victory from my team which means i already have the same amount of victories than my entire previous season in BBBL :)

Currently i'm on 1 win and 1 loss, and i'm happy with that.
Next week i have games against Obira and Mumu, which will be very hard for me.
In the week after that i will try to get two victories again.

Rip.

But ...I'm sure "you will be back !!!

And for now....Long live the number one ....Arlon. (for he's a jolly good fellow...)

Haha, well...just like Roger Federer, you've been Number one for so long that no one will ever beat your record.

You are and will stay in the golden book of this game Joe! Don't fall into alcoholism, drinking bottles of whisky in front of your pc watching the games thinking about how everything was so much better before huh! :-))

And for the first time since season 14, I'm not the n°1 in Belgium. The end of an era...

it's great to become number one in the country, no question. yet, when you look at the world ranking, i think the greatest achievement - to me- is that joe and i are the second best duo in the world - behind the 2 polish teams.

now, since i'm overtaking joe in the national ranking, i'd like to thank him. over the last 10 seasons or so, he's the one (with some others, ok) who has been dragging everyone up in belgium, who has helped to bring this league to the level we have now. ever since we met in the II.1 finals back in season 7, there has been a great 'rivalry' between us, and altough i had to wait many seasons to reach the top league, and many, many more to be competitive, he's always been my reference in terms of what kind of team to build. i definitely wouldnt have been that much competitive without him.

this morning, patrick and i were talking about one of my players, rafael varela, 34, whom i might sell because he is injured. and i thought, varela actually was the player who practically saved me from relegation in my first bbbl season. and if you could see his profile, although he has qualities, he's the not the type of player who could have an impact in a title run or in a b3 game. that shows how much better this league has become over the seasons, and i believe joe has had a huge impact by forcing us to catch up on him. we've played a total of 34 games against each other so far (i wont tell you what my record is but you can guess it's not very positive), and i hope there are plenty more to come!

thank you joe!
